when will they ever learn that cyberjaya's roads are not safe for speeding?

More reasons to me to avoid that road. Btw any casualties?

azuma kun is right

as per jeremy Clarkson; speed does not kill, it is the sudden stop that will

hohohohohoh.......

we need some one to teach about the "crumple zone" chapter.....

any lecturers here ?

bashing attempt thwarted!

allow me.

the front of cars are usually made softer than the rest of the car. based on the physics formula:

F=(mv-mu)/t

the longer the impact time, the less the momentum acting on the object. so, by making crumple zones, the time of impact will be lengthened, and since F is inverse proportional to t, the overall force acting on the car will be reduced.

u need to put it on layman term so that people will understand....

he means the force/impact is inversely proportianol to the time it takes so in turn if the force is applied for a longer time, the impact will be less as it decreases wif time...rite?

impulse = change of momentum per time
F = ^m / t

loosely translated, the change in velocity (c.o.momentum) is the same since it is (velocity at impact -> decelerating to 0), but we can vary the time taken for the deceleration (t)..by making the c.o.m divided by a larger time (t) value, the force (F) experienced by passengers in the car is lessened.

one effective way of increasing t value is to make sure there's a crumple zone.

let him exp it then he should know y is soft (if he still alive lah)

I LOL'ed so hard.

What part of 'safety' do these drivers not understand?

if crumple zones are so important then why are volvos are made like a brick

lol

we need another lecturer here........

**paging for any available lecturers**

correction: older volvos are made like a brick.

last time there were no research done on crumple zones, so the carmakers decided to make the cars as stiff as possible. while this made the car 'safer' so to speak, but the driver will suffer more in an accident, as the impact is not dissipated efficiently.

so, you want your car to be saved or yourself to be saved?

You mean last time Volvo has been touted as one of the safest cars around, they're actually the worst?!

Making cars from stones? Something like from the Flintstones? I guess fuel consumption will suffer due to the weight of the car.


They still look like a brick today but then, most people find Volvos a class of its own, my uncle still drive a Volvo till today. It beats me why Volvo and not other cars like Audi, VW, Skoda, BMW, Benz, etc.

definitely not

last time there were NO crumple zones, and cars were built like cans, while Volvos were more stiff and rigid. at least the damage on both the car and driver is minimised, although the driver suffers more as compared to an accident to cars with crumple zones.

doesn't that make Volvo one of the safest?

lol. how bout compare MyVi with Savy? which one safer to driver?

good.... now its really popcorn time

both are safe if driven properly instead of recklessly
